💘Valentine's Day Date Ideas for all 9 Enneagram Types

In addition to Cupid’s arrows, we also have a lot of expectations flying around. So I turned to my most faithful resource for answers… my Instagram followers!

Here are some of my favorite date suggestions for each type:

1 - A date that someone else plans for me! I don't want to have any responsibilities.
2 - A nice dinner where we can just talk and be sappy.
3 -
Short run together along the riverfront, end at a brunch place.
4 -
A date that is unique and true to ME. So an aura picture reading and tikibar cocktails.
5 -
Cocktails and a documentary, followed by a healthy intellectual debate
6 -
Under no circumstances should there be any element of surprise. A yummy dinner and an activity like putt putt or axe throwing.
7 -
Go to a new place to eat and then a romantic stroll on the beach with a bonfire and then go to a movie and maybe ice cream after (lol)
8 -
Hiking, going back to shower, then hitting an AMAZING brunch spot
9 -
Staying home, ordering pizza and dessert, and watching my favorite movies (extended edition of "Lord of the Rings", obviously)

📑 Enneagram 6: Everything You Need to Know About the Loyalist Type

If I murdered someone, I know exactly who I’d want helping me bury the body:

My Type Six best friend.

Sixes are often called “The Loyalist” for that reason. They tend to be loyal and trustworthy.

I say “tend to” because there’s another side of Type Six that’s just as relevant.

A side that scans every relationship and situation for potential danger. For many Sixes, trust, whether in themselves or in other people, doesn’t come easily. It has to be earned.

And if it’s broken?
Kiss that relationship goodbye.

The full article breaks down the core motivations of a Six, their wings, subtypes, arrows, and an example of an Enneagram Six in fiction.

🤝 How Enneagram Twos Use the Best & Worst of Type Eight

I invited my friend TJ Teems to share about how her arrow to Enneagram Eight shows up IRL.

"One way we rely on other Enneagram numbers is that each number has its own stress number to use as a resource in challenging times. This helps us see how another Enneagram number that is so different from us has something to teach us. Our stress number can help us find the balance we need."

You guyssss. I'm back at it again with some more CELEBRITY ENNEAGRAM NEWS 🗞️ 🎉 Recently, Amy Poehler (can we just call her the Enneagram Queen now?) brought up the Enneagram with guest Kerry Washington on a recent episode of Good Hang. They landed on Kerry as a Type Three, Rashida Jones as a Type Seven (with a wing 6), and Reese Witherspoon as a hard-core Type Three. (This lines up with a story from Jim McPartlin’s The Enneagram at Work. When he was managing a hotel, Reese Witherspoon paused...

Your mom, your best friend, your partner, and the person writing this email (cough cough) all have a problem. We’re all emotionally unbalanced. Like it or not, your well-being (or lack of it) hinges on how out of whack your levels of anxiety, shame, or anger are. And if you’re wondering how all of us being emotionally unhinged has anything to do with the Enneagram, well… There’s this thing called triads. A triad is a grouping of three types that have core traits in common. So if you're torn...

It's the most important thing you can do for yourself... And it connects to something that changed millions of lives. When Muhammad Yunus was traveling through Bangladesh, he saw families trapped in poverty. Instead of just feeling sad about it, he got curious and asked: What is the root issue here? Because it's not that these people were lazy or not ambitious. They were actually some of the most creative and hard-working people he'd ever met! The problem was simply: access. They didn’t have...
